Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

It's pretty simple. I don't feel ready.

If I don't feel ready it's because I'm not ready.

I want to build my confidence slowly and safely.

Not jeopardise everything in one hit because being pushed into something I am not ready for.

I can't be anymore clearer than that and will not be participating to this track day in June.

I will however be happy to spectate to see how it all unfolds

Give me time guys that is all

Fair enough Ants, happy laps first then?

Need to start thinking about a new turbo and not sure which route to take, thinking highflow or a bolt on. I want something that can make about 250 kw and decent response, anyone have any suggestions?

have a look at those precision turbos Mike.

They seem to spool up damn fast and will easily make 250+kw

Having said that I prefer bolt in applications

Yeah I'm after something bolt on.

6266's are 500+hp turbos though Tony. They spool quick... For their size. But it wouldn't be good to be making only 350hp with it. Not to mention it doesn't come on a t3 flange, so you'd need a new manifold.

I think Tony was taking the piss lol

I guess Hypergear is the easy bolt on option. Personally Id look at a 3071.

I haven't read much about Precision turbos and how they fair at the 250kw level. No doubt they make a good charger for the goal i just havent seen results for them

Grab a r34 turbo and get it highflowed at CGC, MTQ or hypergear. I had a friend that made a lazy 270rwkw and it still looked stock. Pretty inexpensive too.

Yes. Yes I was. :-D would be fun to see the silver broad minded person actually turn her wheels. :-P

Realistically for that power though, buying a high flowed turbo is probably your best bet. Cost is kept down and life is good.

^^ This, Highflow seems to get the best results these days whilst keeping it low mounted on the stock manifold and internally gated

This is what I'm leaning towards ATM, just need the 34 turbo.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
